Apps Just Keep Shutting Down

I have been using my iPad for a while now, and I am wondering how many out there are having the same experiences as me with apps just shutting down? For all the accolades people seem to pile on the iPhone and iOS, if my experience with the iPad is any indication the platform really is not much better than any other platform when it comes to performance. I am looking forward to seeing whether iOS 4 will be any better when I upgrade this fall.
